    It’s probably one of the most depressing jobs one can have. I guess unless you’re a sociopath.

      Depends on what actually happens to caught animals. Neuter and release is probably the most humane option.

        They have to deal with animal abuse cases too.

          But they get to rescue them and stop the abuse

        That’s not all animal control does

          Indeed not. I see your point, there would be lots of animals in distress that need to be shot or captured in the field.

            I meant more like having to rescue horribly abused animals.

      You get to leave the world better than when you started though.

      You’re right that there aren’t nearly enough laws and systems to protect animal welfare though.
